HC Deb 09 April 1895 vol 32 c1284
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can inform the House what now represents the Government of Hawaii: and, whether the existing Government, in the event of there being one, is recognised by Her Majesty's Government?

SIR EDWARD GREY

The present Government of Hawaii is Republican. The Republic was recognised by Her Majesty's Government on the 15th of November last.
